It exceeds the performance of much larger and more cumbersome firearm / cartridge platforms, but in an extremely compact package!

The paradigm has shifted! Most magnum cartridges require 24 or even 26 inch long barrels to achieve advertised performance. The Hornady Ruger Compact Magnum cartridges have been purpose built to achieve true Magnum levels of velocity, accuracy and terminal performance in an easy to carry short action gun featuring a compact 20â barrel!

RugerÂ® has made a number of modifications to the M77Â® HawkeyeÂ® to create the perfect mate to the new RCM cartridges. The rifles are built around Rugerâs rock solid short action and feature 20â barrels, crisp LC6â¢ triggers and updated stock dimensions in this fast-handling package that tips the scale at just over 6.5 lbs.
